Off the Beaten Path Bookstore and Café

Great coffee shop and local book store. They have your standard set of coffee and tea drinks plus they add in some of their own great coffee drinks with book or author names to them. You can also kick up your coffee with some added shots to warm you up.
Picked up some books while we where there, everyone was very helpful and made you feel welcome.

Awesome spot downtown Steamboat. Great coffee and an amazing selection of books. My wife and I enjoyed sitting in the loft reading and drinking coffee.

Excellent bookstore with an adorable cafe that serves adult beverage coffees and INCREDIBLE gluten free baked goods. They are willing to order books they don't carry and it's so nice supporting a local company rather than giving more money to Amazon and the ilk.

V friendly staff, with a warm welcome/nice atmos. V good coffee; big range of new and used books.

Awesome little book store with a great coffee shop. Service was excellent!

There are a handful of tables outside to sit at, as well. I didn't see anywhere I side to sit with a cup of coffee.

Super cute bookstore and coffee shop in downtown Steamboat.

They have lots of themed drinks with fun names and all sorts of flavor mixes. Both coffee and tea drinks are served. They have soy, almond, and coconut milk as plant-based options for all drinks (50 cents add on).

Walls of books, cards, and puzzles are everywhere in this small place. There is nice seating downstairs by the coffee counter and upstairs in smaller reading nooks.

The staff was very friendly when we ordered drinks and seemed happy to talk to us about drink options as well as books.

They offer free WiFi with no code needed and the speed was pretty decent, although it was fairly quiet when we were using it.

Make sure to tell them a tip amount to add before you swipe your card as it won't ask you to add later and they deserve some nice tips!

Great pastry and latte! Staff super friendly. Love that you get 10% off to support bringing your own cup / reduce waste!

Independent book stores, hard to go wrong. If you like to read, or like someone who likes to read, or just like to look at the pictures, this is a great spot. I bought a book on the mammals of CO, and all of them (puma, bear, elk, moose, mt goat) agree, Books are good, and Off the Beaten Path is a good place for books.
Word!

good coffee, good friends, good food, off the beaten path lives up to its motto. The café is very cute and earthly. And it is very cute. The staff could not have been nicer. And the area was a great environment highly recommend for a good book

As a writer, this was the kind of bookstore I could find myself spending lots of time in! It was charming and cozy with all the right amenities. It had a great coffee bar as well as a special nook just for the kids. My kids would have loved having a place to explore books here.

We were on a ski vacation and stumbled across this gem the day before we left. When we visit next, it will be one of the first places I go rather than the last.

It is a great place to meet the locals and support their wonderful community.
